SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on October 3, 2013, based on a complaint filed by Draeger Medical 
Systems, Inc., of Telford, Pennsylvania (``Draeger''). 78 FR 61383 
(Oct. 3, 2013). The complaint alleged violations of section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), in the importation 
into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within 
the United States after importation of certain thermal support devices 
for infants, infant incubators, infant warmers, and components thereof 
by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 
6,483,080 and 7,335,157. The notice of investigation named Atom Medical 
International, Inc., of Tokyo, Japan (``Atom'') as the sole respondent.
    On February 5, 2014, Draeger and Atom jointly moved to terminate 
the investigation based upon a settlement agreement. On February 12, 
2014, the Commission investigative attorney filed a response in support 
of the motion.
    On February 14, 2014, the ALJ issued the subject ID granting the 
motion to terminate the investigation. The ALJ determined that the 
parties stated there are no agreements between the parties concerning 
the subject matter of this investigation other than the settlement 
agreement between Draeger and Atom. The ALJ further determined that the 
parties filed a public version of the settlement agreement in 
accordance with the Commission's rules. The ALJ also determined that 
there is no indication that termination of this investigation based on 
the settlement agreement would have an adverse impact on the public 
interest. No petitions for review of the ID were filed.
    The Commission has determined not to review the ID. The 
investigation is terminated.
    The authority for the Commission's determination is contained in 
section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and 
in Part 210 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 
Part 210).

    By order of the Commission.

     Issued: March 19, 2014.
Lisa R. Barton,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
